Work Outfit Idea: Body-Con at the Office? Put a Blazer on It!

As the blogger behind Penny Chic, I’m on a mission to prove that you can look summer fabulous and professional by adding the right affordable pieces to your work wardrobe. I've been proving it's possible twice a week with 10 chic summer work staples that pass my test for fit, style, budget, and versatility. Today is outfit No. 10! Previous looks featured patterned pants, a tweed skirt, a chambray shirt, and Bermuda shorts.

Today's work look is modeled by Emily Men, a former Rachel Zoe styling assistant (now Parsons student) who knows the importance of "bringing it" to work. This is the last and final look with the Kardashian Kollection body-con. The tailored blazer adds more polish to the tight dress, and the white breaks up the yellow and keeps things crisp and clean. You can always count on a well fitted blazer to transform your weekend clothes into work clothes. Having one or two solid options that fit you well and are versatile will keep you from having to buy more "work clothes."

Nude pumps would have kept the focus on the yellow makeshift skirt, but I opted for pink ones since it's summer...and why not. A little color-blocking never hurt anyone at work!

What's your go-to work blazer like? Could you wear this outfit to work? Tell us in the comments!
